FISHING: Fair
Salmon fishing was BETTER off of the waterfront and SPOTTY out at Constance Bank. For a couple of days, anglers jigging close in and shallow were having good success off Clover Point on the flood tides. That seems to have died down by the weekend. Off Constance Bank, the tides were really ripping and the salmon fishing was spotty. Otherwise, it’s hit and miss from Albert Head to Trial Island. Anchovy was the most productive bait this past week for those trolling. If you want to troll artificial baits, try #4 Coyotes, #4 Titans or Gibbs Gypsy spoons in a silver/ green or blue/silver combinations. For plastics, use the Jellyfish, Purple Haze or Army Truck patterns in needlefish or squirts. HALIBUT – Halibut fishing at Constance Bank and Border Bank was much slower in the huge tides that we had. The current was really ripping this past week. Extra Large Herring or Octopus fished off of a spreader bar with a 2 lb weight is the best bet to catch the big flatfish.
